A must see site:  Akdart.com - A great site covering technical items plus interesting topics well written by Andrew Dart.  Andrew has a well written history of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) for your reading pleasure along with EBS documents!  (Remember the old days of the EBS and the dreaded "tone"?)

Another must see site:  CONELRAD.com - If you are a cold war buff you will spend many hours exploring this site.  The New York Times calls it an "eerie, creepy look at Cold War Culture".  By the way, CONELRAD was the predecessor to the Emergency Broadcast System.
